GSOC 2016 final blog post

Git Backend
This project was aimed to create a git like backend for Turtle JS and Sugar Journal which will
support git functions like versioning and forking.
Project Proposal :Proposal
Final Progress: We have nearly met all the goals that we described/explained in the project proposal. A Git Backend Api was created which was used in TurtleJS(web activity) and Turtle Art(python activity) as examples. Server integration was also given in the case of TurtleJS. Enough progress have been made with the project to progress in the future, the idea of a Git Backend was explored and the future part is to integrate the backed api code to all other sugar activities.
